Yes, although the bird looks interesting, I also believe that the photos are 
not sufficient to rule out a Ringed Plover. Would be great to get more pictures!

G'day all

My 2c worth!

Fascinating record if it turns out to be correct but I'm skeptical.  My only 
knowledge of these two species are a couple of sightings of breeding plumage 
birds each in Texas (Semi-palmated) and Ireland and South Africa (Ringed).  

I agree it's not 100 % right for Ringed but I've had a look at the 4th pic from 
Matt Slaymaker and can't see any palmations in the feet.  These should be 
visible in this photo.

See

More photos would be great.

Cheers
Steve
